Helix 2016
Helix 2016

Designers: Favaretto & Partners, Padova (PD), Italy

Manufacturer: B-LINE srl., Sarmeola di Rubano (PD), Italy


Helix is a chair to observe and admire, following the spiral of its lovely, long back "legs", whose various cross-sections recall the elegant screw shape of a propeller and end in the slender curved backrest.
The version with the backrest featuring a corset of elasticised cord transforms Helix into a distinctive graphic mark which, along with the beech wood grain, makes its eclectic dynamism even more evident.
The version with seat upholstered in Kvadrat fabric adds a softness and warmth to the natural feel of wood.
